another perspective

I wasn't all that happy about some of the photos from yesterday, so I thought I'd try again today. It's interesting how different colors look depending on the light. I photographed Agastache 'Ava' as the sun started coming up this morning. The photo above is with the light coming in from behind the plant, but not yet direct light. The photo below is the same plant at the same time, but from the opposite direction. The colors look very different to me.

I think this is proof that you can't always go by catalog colors. Plants might look different even though the catalog may not be intentionally misrepresenting the plant. It might just be the quality of light when the photograph was taken.



The blooms on rose 'Winchester Cathedral' have lost most of their pinkness, and are now mostly white.


Salvia 'Indigo Spires' with a better background. This is the cutting that I struck last month. Already blooming.
